GALLUP NEWS SERVICE: Bush Gets Small Convention Bounce
Here's some good news: the first national poll conducted entirely after the completion of that convention -- shows George W. Bush getting a small increase in voter support. Bush's share of the vote among likely voters increased two percentage points, from 50% to 52%.....Bush's two-point convention bounce is one of the smallest registered in Gallup polling history.....and the smallest an incumbent president has received.

Combine this with what appears to be a bit more focus coming out of the Kerry camp, a simplified message more keyed in on the economy, and an infusion of some Clinton campaign pros, and this might be more of a fair fight!
